Curt Schilling: ‘If I Have to Shut Up to Get in the Hall of Fame, Then I Don’t Want In’

Posted on July 4, 2017 by Steve Mac Donald

Though his conservative politics might keep legendary ace pitcher Curt Schilling from being inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, that won’t stop the man regarded as one of the greatest Boston Red Sox heroes of all time from fearlessly speaking his mind.

In an Esquire magazine profile by Timothy Bella, Schilling opens up about his ambivalence about the Hall of Fame (“Honestly, and I don’t know how to say this to make it sound other than it sounds, but I don’t care.”); his work as the radio host of Breitbart News’ What Ever It Takes (Breitbart is “the last bastion of actual journalism.”); a potential Senate run against Massachusetts Democrat Elizabeth Warren (“She is everything the American people despise in politics.”); | More…

Former Commissioner defending rogue agency….

Posted on July 4, 2017 by Steve Mac Donald

Mr. (Bill) Carney is still blindly defending the anti-gun Fish and Game Commission.  He claims that a Union Leader Editorial which said the Commission voted in opposition to SB 12, Constitutional Carry is “fake news” and he went on to say it was not truthful.  It is Mr. Carney and Hawkeye who are not being truthful and peddling “fake news”.  Mr. Carney is blindly defending an anti-gun agency. The facts are not in dispute, not by the Commissioners, not by the Executive Council and not by anyone who has been paying even the slightest amount of attention to this important issue; that on January 11, 2017, the New Hampshire Fish and Game Commission voted unanimously to oppose SB 12, Constitutional Carry. | More…

Hey NH1: Which Flags Are The Conservative Flags?

Posted on July 4, 2017 by Steve Mac Donald

The author or the editor (or both), odds being high that they are both Liberal and have no idea what flag means what, are drawing a purposeful connection between the National Socialist German Worker’s Part Party of Hitler (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei ) and 21st century American Constitutional Conservatism.

I think they need to revisit the history. | More…

Random Thoughts on the Monday Before Independence Day

Posted on July 3, 2017 by Steve Mac Donald

1.) Democrats like to accuse everyone but themselves of vote suppression but abortion is vote suppression, and they’ll do anything to protect that. The irony, of course, is that they are statistically suppressing their own likely voters while a majority of Republicans favor letting them not just live, but live long enough to vote (potentially) against Republicans. | More…

Andrew Klavan: What Is Fake News?

Posted on July 3, 2017 by Steve Mac Donald

You’ve probably heard a lot of people recently screaming and yelling about Fake News.
Charges fly from all points on the political spectrum: this story is mistaken — it’s Fake News; that statement is incorrect — it’s Fake News.

But to my mind, these arguments miss the point. Mainstream American news is ALL fake
because the major news outlets are so consistently biased toward the left that whether any
given story they report is factual or not, their overall reportage is essentially leftist propaganda. |Transcript

Study Shows Senate Dems Don’t Practice The Diversity They Demand of Others

Posted on July 3, 2017 by Steve Mac Donald

Democrats pride themselves on diversity and inclusiveness, so we might expect to see a united colors of Benneton ad in the Senate yearbook.  But we’d be wrong.

According to the Washington Post, they have seen a report released by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) that shows that the majority of Senate staffers are white and female. |More…

The report found that solar panels use heavy metals, including lead, chromium and cadmium, which can harm the environment. The hazards of nuclear waste are well known and can be planned for, but very little has been done to mitigate solar waste issues. | More…
